Oh yeah, falses like crazy but after using an older beep & dig unit last year, I'm used to the chatter and it's pretty easy to pick out the good targets. The depth indicator is totally useless in this case and if it weren't for the ProPointer, I'd still be trying to find the thing.

If a person can slow down his swings, it can give you enough pause inbetween the targets to actually hear each individual sound. A smaller coil might help depending on what you are using now.

I've used Garretts before on beaches & they do give a lot of false signals. I use a MineLabe & its a great machine for wet sand. The only problem is our new coinage which doesn't have any silver in it. Is it a coin or junk??? All in the fun; as sand beaches are easy to dig.

Anyway good luck in your hunts, all will come with time.

Our modern money is pure garbages. Never had any problem with my at pro at the beach or in the water.

That's basically what I'm doing, going real slow and using a 5x9 coil. Still lots of chatter but you can pick out the good stuff if you listen. Found a few 40's coins in the same area, nickle and penny, and they nearly blew my ears off. Still real metal in them!
